  • Signal Transduction and Human Diseaseby Toren Finkel; J. Silvio Gutkind

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 189.95

    This book uniquely relates the broad impact of signal transduction research on the understanding and treatment of human disease. There have been significant advances in the area of signaling in disease processes, yet no resource presently connects these advances with understanding of disease processes and applications for novel therapeutics. Given the emphasis on translational research and biological relevance in biotechnology, and, conversely, the importance of molecular approaches for clinical research, it is evident that a single resource bridging signaling research and human disease will be invaluable. more...

  • Principles and Practice of Clinical Parasitologyby Stephen Gillespie; Richard D. Pearson

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 580.00

    A comprehensive account of protozoan and metozoan diseases in modern clinical practice, with orientation towards clinical management of parasitic infections. In the past, parasitology was considered as an obscure subject of little relevance to the majority of clinicians and microbiologists. Over the last decade, however, much has happened to change this, not least the explosion in foreign travel This textbook is the forth in the Principles and Practice series, providing an expansive and detailed coverage of clinical microbiology. It has a similar appeal to that of Zuckerman's, Principles & Practice of Clinical Virology, with an international authorship and emphasis placed on integrating new knowledge in a clinically relevant manner. . An essential,... more...

  • The Secret Life of Germsby Ph.D. Philip M. Tierno Jr.

    Simon & Schuster 2001; US$ 10.99

    They're everywhere. Silent and invisible to the naked eye, they're on everything we touch, eat, breathe -- on every single inch of our skin. And despite the remarkable advances of science, germs are challenging medicine in ways that were unimaginable just a decade ago. Due to an explosion of infections never before reported in modern history and a new germ horror story surfacing every week, it's no small wonder that we're frightened -- and that antibacterial soaps are a billion-dollar business. Now, renowned microbiologist Philip Tierno cuts through the media hype with the compulsively readable Secret Life Of Germs, revealing exactly where the greatest threats may be hiding. The Secret Life Of Germs provides an inside view of this fascinating... more...

  • Principles and Practice of Clinical Virologyby Arie J. Zuckerman; Jangu E. Banatvala; J. R. Pattison; Paul Griffiths; Barry Schoub

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 491.00

    The knowledge and practice of clinical virology continues to expand. This new fifth edition has thirty-six comprehensive chapters, each of which has been extensively revised or rewritten, with the addition of new colour plates. This updated version takes into account knowledge accumulated in molecular biology with its applications for laboratory diagnosis, immunisation and antiviral chemotherapy. Each chapter highlights the clinical features and epidemiological patterns of infection. Similarly, in response to the global concern of the threat posed by new viruses, a new chapter on Emerging Infections is included.   There is also new material on Hospital Acquired Infections, including some advice relating to SARS, that... more...

  • Bacterial Evasion of Host Immune Responsesby Brian Henderson; Petra C. F. Oyston; Michael Curtis; Michael Wilson; Sir Anthony Coates

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 139.00

    Over the past decade researchers have shown that bacteria have evolved many ways of evading immunity and hence causing infection. Our present understanding of these mechanisms is described in this book, which will appeal to graduate students and researchers in microbiology, immunology, as well as in pharmacology and molecular medicine. more...

  • Bacterial Adhesion to Host Tissuesby Michael Wilson; Brian Henderson; Michael Curtis; Sir Anthony Coates
